Dear Jackie


Dear Jackie,

Your are a star. Everyone is fascinated,

or do you have everyone fooled?

How many guys have you dated?

It doesn’t matter, that is not in my jurisdiction.

I went after you because I craved fame,

but I almost lost my very best friend along the way.

I gave you that title.

I tossed it around like thrash and devoted myself 

to you.

You are a star. Everyone is fascinated,

or you have everyone fooled.

You made me cry and try things that killed my soul.

Instead of helping, you pushed me off the ledge.

When I sought help, you hid.

But you’re not a monster.

Is everything you do validated?

I changed myself

for you.

You are a star. Everyone is fascinated,

or you have everyone fooled.

You are special.

Yes, you were cruel, but it takes two.

I, too, was not perfect,

and though our friendship disintegrated,

I’m glad you were part of my life.

All tears, smiles, and adventures happened

because of you.

I love you.

Sincerely, 

Kari
